The Battle between the Divine and the Carnal Love c. 1750 - 1800

"The Battle between the Divine and the Carnal Love" is an anonymous 18th-century artwork currently housed in the Städel Museum. The composition features four cherubs engaged in a playful and symbolic struggle. One cherub, adorned with wings, forcefully restrains another while a third cherub, holding a wreath of flowers, seemingly watches over the scene. This artwork, likely a study for a larger piece, reflects the Rococo style, emphasizing elegance, sensuality, and a playful approach to classical themes.
